Razor polishing? Please clarify

So I don't mean to sound like a moron, but how excactly does one apply and use polish effectively on razors? I'm looking at cleaning my Gillette's and the only polish I could find at Walmart is Brasso and Never-Dull. I chose the Never-Dull but I'm not sure..do I just rub the wadding all over the razor then rinse it off? Should I get a different polish that isn't infused in wadding?

 

Check out this link. It has pretty good instructions on cleaning.

Go get Flitz and use a clean soft cloth. Safer than Brasso and MAAS.

I'm not one that requires a mirror finish, so I find Scrubbing Bubbles works well enough for me.
It eats soap scum, disinfects, and will leave a nice shine. I use it to clean all my razors.

 

I use Peek and Nevrdull - works great.

 

I like Flitz & Maas for nickle plated razors.
Be careful polishing a gold or even silver plate razor because its easy to strip the finish if your too aggressive.
